| Planted early June. Vining plants. Support added mid July. Nasturiums in bed. Plants succumbed to powdery mildew by early September. Cucumbers were rated “Fantastic” by one tester. Afternoon sun was recommended by Baker Creek, but in our climate, full sun all day might have been better. |

| a relatively thinner skin cucumber with a very good taste. Mild, cucumber flavor, not overly seedy. The several we harvested were about 7 inches in length. Our first round of seedlings got eaten by something, so we got a late start and feel our yield was low for that reason. Was not bothered by insects like my cucumbers at home. |
